WILLIAM H.v STEINBRENNER, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

IRON-WAXER.

Application filed April 14, 1919.

To all who-m 2'2? may concern e it known that I, IVILLIAM H. STEIN- nunNNen, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Iron-lVaxers, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a cheap, simple and highly eificient pad for waxing irons and the like, when used in ironing and pressing.

My improved pad is made up and manufactured ready for use without any sewing, stitching, binding, or extraneous means separately and independently used for holding together the various parts of a pad of this character.

The salient feature of my invention consists in combining the parts forming the pad or waxer, by the employment of glue, paste, plastic material or the like, and exerting pressure to form a unique, novel, simple and highly useful iron waXer, which will always retain its original contour and form and retain its efiiciency.

Its various features and advantages will readily become apparent from the following specification and claim.

In the accompanying part of this specification:

Figure l, is a plan view of the cover of the iron waxer,

Fig. 2, is a plan view of the cover and the body portion of the waxer, the cover being partly folded over onto the body portion at. the edges and certain parts shown unfolded,

Fig. 3, is a view of one of the two body pieces which together with the cover make up the complete waxer, and

Fig. 4, is an isometric view of the waxer complete and ready for use.

The pad is made up of a cover 1, generally of rectangular form, and made from muslin, canvas, duck, linen or similar material found most desirable for use. The line 2 may be called a score line or line upon which the outer edges 3 and 4 are folded. These outer edges 3 and 4 are faced with glue or other plastic or sticky material; a similar sticky substance is also placed around and inside the glue carrying edges 3 and 4 and such parts are marked 5; so it will be seen that around the edge of the fabric cover 1, I form a. double layer of glued faced edges, one inside the other.

make it of any other form or shape desired. I

The body portion of the waxer is formed of two body portions 6 and 7, made of a waxed material or material which readily absorbs and holds wax or its equivalent for the purpose intended. These body portions are laid on each side of the center dividing line 8 and their top and outer edges reach to the score line 2 as shown plainly in Fig. 2. The body portions 6 and 7 at their edges rest on the gum layer or face 5 and are held in alinement and in position thereby; the gummed edges 3 and 4 of the cover '1 are then turned over onto the face of said body portion 6 and 7 as partly shown in Fig. 2, and when all these edges are folded over onto the said body portions, the parts are pressed so as to properly amalgamate or unite together and then the cover 1 and body portions 6 and 7 are folded or doubled on the line 8 and pressed together to form one solid, uniform and finished waxer. The parts may be pressed together cold or they may be partly heated and additional gum or similar uniting material may be placed on the body portions or edges before the final fold is made. When the cover is folded over the body portions it becomes taut. The dotted lines in Fig. 2, show where the body portions 6 and 7 at their edges lap over onto the inner gummed edge 5. 1

It will be noted that both sides of the waxer are the same and both sides can be used.

It will be readily apparent that I form the parts into what may be termed an integral mass, thus dispensing with sewing, stitching, metal clips, nails or other extraneous means of holding the parts together.

The cover 1 may be waxed also if desired, but the body portions keep the cover replenished with wax.

I do not wish to confine myself to any specific material or shape, and any equiva lent means may be employed to form the waxer herein described and set forth.

What I claim as new and my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

A sad iron waxing pad comprising a onepiece cover of flexible fabric having on one surface thereof a border of adhesive sub stance, a plurality of superposed wax containing plates engaging the surface of said cover which contains said adhesive, said plates having certain of their edges overlapping the adhesive border and secured thereto, the edges of said cover extending over certain of the edges of the plates and being secured thereto by said adhesive substance, said cover being folded intermediate two of its opposite edges and providing a top and bottomcover for the plates, and the 10 ture at Cincinnati, Ohio, this 11th day of 15 April, 1919.
